Janie left Muddy Gap to make her own way in the business world. Her job has taken her back to Wyoming, but there’s another reason she’s in the middle of nowhere, and she’s reluctant to tell her ex-husband the truth. But a series of dangerous “accidents” forces her to move to the ranch under Abe’s protection. And she’s shocked to find that she’s not the only one who’s changed in the eight years—now her independent spirit seems to rouse Abe’s lust, and he’s determined to wrangle an invitation into her bed. . . .

Tierney might be a whiz with numbers, but when it comes to dealing with an opinioned, rough-and-tumble cowboy like Renner, she’s out of her league. But maintaining a professional distance doesn’t seem to cool the attraction simmering between them. Although Renner and Tierney are wary of each other’s true motives, they will end up entangled in ways neither dreamed possible
